A cold Continent?
In article ,
Martin Rowley m writes: "Martin Rowley" wrote in message ... ... yes indeed: just waiting for the first use of the phrase " .... an icy blast all the way from Siberia"! ... Thursday, 0910Z: Johnnie Walker on Radio 2 ... " freezing winds all the way from Siberia": presumably quoting from a newspaper. I heard Dan Corbett, who should know better, use almost the identical phrase on a Radio 4 forecast a week or two ago when referring to the cold snap between Christmas and New Year. But I believe that most Meteorologists nowadays tend to have an academic background in physics rather than in geography, so maybe he doesn't know where Siberia is. -- John Hall "I am not young enough to know everything."

Any air from the East is Siberian apparently. So Siberia must be in the North Sea somewhere. -- Brian Wakem Email: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/b.wakem/myemail.png |
